September 6, 1977 – October 17, 2025 

With broken hearts, the Price family must announce the passing of our son, brother, uncle, and friend. Anthony Noel Price. He was deeply loved by his family: his parents Lyn and Sandy Price, sister Alicia (Ben) and brothers Matthew and Mark Price (Chloe, Bryn, Alba), his grandmother, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins in B.C., Alberta and Wales. 

Anthony was an artist who loved painting; he had great taste in music and always had a favourite new song or album to recommend. He was a decorated athlete in his youth, particularly in track and field and played rugby for the Comox Kickers as an adult. He was a sports fan who loved basketball and had a real soft spot for the Philadelphia Eagles. He could be an absolute hoot, and many laughter-filled Christmas Eve game nights are being fondly remembered. 

Anthony was a complex man who succumbed to an accidental overdose after a long battle with his mental health. We share this information to eliminate the shame and stigma related to addiction. He was worthy of love and dignity and was, and is, loved by us deeply. Anthony wanted more for himself, but his ambition did not always come to fruition in his all-too-short life. In honour of him, please celebrate his spirit, creativity, character, sense of humour and smile. Anthony leaves behind loved ones who will carry him in their hearts forever. 

A Celebration of Anthony’s Life will be held on Wednesday, October 29 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the St. Michael’s Anglican Church Hall in Merritt, B.C. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Nicola Valley Food Bank and The Soup Bowl at St. Michael’s Church Hall, in Merritt, B.C. 

You may offer a message of condolence at Merritt Funeral Chapel for the Price family.
